About Paul Van Asbroeck
Lived 1874 – 1959 (aged 84–85). Paul Van Asbroeck was a Belgian sport shooter.
Paul Van Asbroeck (1 May 1874 – 20 April 1959) was a Belgian sport shooter who competed in the early 20th century in rifle and pistol shooting. He competed at the 1900 Olympics in Paris and won a bronze medal in the military rifle 3 positions category. However the medal was tied with Norwegian Ole Ostmo.
In the 1908 Olympics in London he won the Free pistol event and took silver in the team event. claims that Van Asbroeck appeared in six Olympic Games, citing '1906-08, 20-28, 36', but this appears to be in error. Presumably the 1906 is a typo for 1900, since he did compete in 1906. The 1906 Intercalated Games do not count as 'official' Olympics, while shooting was not part of the Olympic programme in 1904 or 1928.
